Some answers to this are easy: NES/Famicom, PS1, Game & Watch, etc. However, as time rolls forward, the lines between getting older and retro are becoming more blurred for a lot of video game consoles.

Is there a time period that must pass for a video game system to be considered retro? Is the Gamecube considered retro now? Wii (9 years old)? Xbox? PS2? How do we define retro video game consoles?

The definition of 'retro' comes down to, pure and simple, opinions: for example, I think that PS2 and beyond will never become retro, due to the graphical style. So only 5th gen and below are considered retro IMO.
